Re: Which Voltage Regulator?
The generator is grounded thru the case of the generator. The Generator is bolted to the block, but the block is mounted to the frame with rubber mounts. The body is also mounted to the frame with rubber mounts. You can't assume that the frame, block, battery and cab are all electrically connected without running bonding straps between all of them. No electrical system has ever been harmed by too many bonding straps. Start by bonding the body to the engine, engine to the frame and battery, body to frame and for good measure, generator case to voltage regulator case.
